The Wake Up Call
Nothing is worst than one if your children not feeling well. When you’re in a couple of some sorts there are steps you can take to make sure one of you is home with the sick child, or one wakes up and sits with them when they are up most of the night while the other can get rest. But when you’re a single parent there is no one to tag. I’ve probably mentioned before that I am a big Wrestling fan, so please excuse the metaphor. But when you’re single, it’s like you’ve been getting doubled teamed, and there is no one to tag. You can’t win.

The Wake Up Call
I'm a single father of two girls. I really don't know a lot of things about how to dress or groom a girl. I make sure they are showered every day, hair is always combed, and the occasional pony tail is about the extent of my knowledge. That being said, one of the things I dreaded most this school year is picture day. I was lucky when I was still with my ex, because she had a knack for making our girls look great on picture day. So this year it was all on me and I didn't have a clue what to do.

The Wake Up Call
I didn't understand why it was happening to me. Social Services left a card on my door, and I couldn't understand why. Was it because my kids have heavy feet and the neighbors below were tired of hearing them walking until 7:30 every night? Did I correct my kids in public and someone got my information from my license plate? Was it because sometimes during the day, when I'm home, I step on to my balcony to smoke a cigarette? I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. All I knew was, someone didn't like how I was parenting.
